Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water (240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28 g), cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25 g)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125 g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • Vegetable oil for frying (about 4 cups or 1 liter)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g) for coating
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (8 g) for coating
  • ½ cup heavy cream (120 ml) for chocolate sauce
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (113 g), chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14 g) for chocolate sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to melt the butter.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately add 1 cup all-purpose flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Let the dough cool for about 5 minutes until warm but not hot.
  4. Transfer dough to a mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until dough is glossy and smooth.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C), filling about 3 inches deep.
  6. Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with dough. Pipe 2-inch lengths directly into hot oil, cutting with scissors or knife. Fry in batches without overcrowding.
  7. Fry churro bites for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. Toss warm churro bites in a bowl with cinnamon sugar mixture (½ cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon) until evenly coated.
  9. For chocolate sauce, heat ½ cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and add chopped bittersweet chocolate, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  10. Serve churro bites warm with chocolate dipping sauce.

Notes

Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) to avoid soggy or burnt bites. Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady. Coat churro bites while warm for best sugar adhesion. Reheat chocolate sauce gently if it thickens. Store churro bites in airtight container at room temperature up to 24 hours; reheat to restore crispiness.
